These two went through three pages of saying why burgman is the sh!t and linhai doesn't compare blah blah blah (when both don't even own a linhai lol)... now they are playing innocent like nothing happened.
Typical.

It's nice to share idea's, that's where a forum is for.
If you interpret it as absolute, I'm sorry, but then perhaps you don't know how to communicate.
Everyone is allowed to say his or her opinion, and be right, and fail at a time.
If you know someone isn't telling the truth, then it's open for debate. But don't start bashing people because that just doesn't get anywhere...

This is silly. I owned a Linhai 300 for about 7000 miles. Replaced a CDI and a vacuum hose with a hole in it. Those were the only service issues. I upgraded the coil and the fuel pump at 6k, but it was a great commuter for the two years I had it.
I now own a Yamaha Majesty. Why a Majesty? Because I loved the way the Linhai was laid out (Majesty clone), the Majesty had been around in it's current form for a good many years, the Majesty required no valve adjustment for 26,000 miles, and a friend of mine was a manager at the Yamaha shop and gave me a great deal. Yes, it's a better bike. You'd expect that when you pay twice as much. While I wouldn't go back to the Linhai, there are some things I miss about it: it's quicker off the line, it's more "flickable" and a bit more fun to ride, and I loved the looks of the Linhai.
The Yamaha, however, is more stable on the interstate, is extremely reliable, gets 4x the mileage out of a set of tires, runs nicely on regular gas, and has the best lighting I've ever seen on a stock bike ( 2-55w low beams -- always on; and 2-65w hi beams -- both come on simultaneously). Really makes night riding a joy.
So enjoy what you've got. There's lots of good bikes out there, and I think we should get to ride them all!

There's no post that I've read on here that would disagree with torque's statements regarding the Linhai.
What silly are those acting if there are people who think the Linhai is trash....no one has said it is. It's a good bike. I said so myself on my second or third post in this thread.
The only thing that was said that has gotten Linhai owners panties all wadded up was the Burgman is better bike.
That's a personal opinion, that your free to disagree with.
But, it doesn't give you the freedom to personal trash that person who
has a different opinion than you. Chill out and grow up!

Yeah, agree with above!
The burg is a little more powerful, so naturally it's going to be a better bike when you can get them nearly at the same price.
I always listen to other people's opinions. They say a certain bike is better, but I don't like the looks of it, I'd still go and buy the bike I like. But at least I'm aware of certain possible minus points on the bike I'm choosing (eg: limited reliability, less power, etc...).
If I only had $3.8k, and could not fork out a penny more, the choice will be obvious; namely the only bike I'd be able to afford at that price range!
However that does not mean it's going to be a bad buy.
A lot of people love the roketa, which is only half an Aeolus.

No one said the Linhai isn't a good bike....chill out You did. You have basically called the op a liar. I have seen nothing you have said in this thread that would lead me to believe you were in support if the 300 cc linhai. You are out of line. The op stated he seen one in his area for around $1600.00. You called him a liar. Pure and simple. That got under my skin big time. How the hell do you know what he seen or found. That was totally wrong and you should apologies to him. |

That was totally wrong and you should apologies to him. This is when ones reading comprehension skills are important. In my very first post in this thread someone questioned if the Linhai was a typical Chinese clone.. My response was... Soon after youngboipsl ask me "So my bike is good? " I responded with "According to the research i did....it sure is a good bike." So, you're wrong and you owe me an apology. At some point this thread became a pissing match. Pride got in the way and it became an "I'm right and you're wrong" thread. When youngboipsl said the Linhai sells new for $1600 in his area, I wasn't going to be a fool and believe him when most other places are selling the Linhai for over $3,000...some at $3700. Since he provided no evidence of his unbelievable claim that it was selling for $1600 new,it's therefore not a fact. It becomes a choice to believe him or not. I chose to believe he was making it up just to win an argument. That was my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. It's your opinion he's telling the truth.Until you or he can prove what he said is fact, it's not. |

I have a 2008 Linhai 300 that I purchased new a year and a half ago. I believe the price was very close to $2,700 delivered. I now have 4000 miles on it and love the scooter. It rides well, is quick, starts well is quiet and is very reliable. Do they make better, I am sure, as there is always something better out there no matter what material object you have. Do we always have the best there is available, I don't think so. If you are pulling wrenches for a living I don't suspect you buy your tools at Harbor Freight. We should buy what will serve the application according the amount we use things. One wouldn't buy a top end BMW as a utility vehicle mainly to run to the grocery store, that is if we have any common sense.
Do we get carried away once and a while and buy beyond common sense, no question about it. The bottom line, buy what fits YOUR needs, not mine.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but youngboipsl can you please reduce the image size of your forum signature. A 1600x1200 resolution picture is way to big for a signature. I'd reduce it to 640x480. Right now it downloads the full image for every single post you make (which makes the forum really wide and very tall). Once it downloads all the images, yours is reduced by 50% in what it shows, but it still downloads the full image. That's just wasted bandwidth for everyone involved. Even at 50% though it makes any thread that you reply in very tall because each of your replies takes up a ton of space. I use 1900x1080 resolution and I can normally see 3 - 4 normal sized posts at a time, but yours takes up my whole monitor. Nothing personal at all. I like your scooter  |

Read more: scootdawg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=200cc&action=display&thread=58023&page=4#ixzz2LO6TXwgb He has to provide neither you or me with proof. His word id good enough. I guess that since you said you weren't going to be a fool and believe him that makes me a fool because I do. I don't I have any reason to not believe him and I suspect neither do you. As said I believe you owe him an apologie. And I am not a fool. I call it like I see it. |

His word is good enough? Do you know him personally?
You can choose to believe his claim, that's your business. If someone said to me a new Burgman 400 was selling in my area for $3750 which is half of what others are selling it at $7500....I'd be a fool to believe them. Common sense is a good enough reason for me to believe no one is selling a new linhai for $1600,half of what most others are selling it for. If it's such a good bike, they need not be "giving it away".It's a good bike, common sense says they're not giving it away..
See famous quote from PT Barnum
I'm not going to change your mind, nor will you change mine...so end it!

When I was in college we had a couple of guys on our floor who did nothing but argue with each other. Couldn't get a good word out of either of them for the other. Finally, we'd had enough. We took them over to the gym, gave them each a set of boxing gloves and some protective head gear and put them in the ring. You have no idea how exhausting a 3-minute round in the ring can be -- pounding the snot out of the other guy and getting the same in return (neither of these guys were trained boxers). Anyway -- they never made it to the third round. Too exhausted. They still laugh about it today. Good friends ever since. Just a thought.  |
